Open Cut Coal

At Orica, blasting is more than selling explosives, it’s about providing advice on a total blasting solution tailored to individual customer needs. We combine careful timing with different explosives to give the customer the opportunity to obtain more coal from less blasts.

Orica can model coal blasts that, through results, can demonstrate the benefits of investing in the critical planning stages. Our technical service team partners with the customer to provide solutions that aim to improve productivity, reduce overall operating costs and minimise airblast and vibration.

The continual development of Orica’s innovative technology, means that we aspire to improve on mining processes that benefit the industry, are safe and reliable and give local mine operators an advantage in the market.
